Yes, and in addition, it means that choosing an appropriate URL is up to
some client heuristics. However, it does have the merit of not
requiring a round-trip conversation with the name service, which is
important to us. I think the suggestion of having some kind of
meta-URL, which could be interpreted locally, would also merit more
thought. Some sort of macrology like imake uses (ugh :-). This would
solve some of the problems of a static list, without necessarily
requiring name service round trips.
